We all pick a band we wanna see and pay for them?

You've got 1 million to fill the Main stage on Sunday, who do you go for?

Drake, Kayne West and Frank Ocean

[davywalsh7]

Also, Coldplay are set to play RAH on 1st July, anyone else think that they'll announce a bigger tour after that?

Would that be a valid reason for the wait?

Def a possibility I would think. Would fit nicely headlining sunday with paulo nutini subbing

[Muzzy Izzet]

You've got 1 million to fill the Main stage on Sunday, who do you go for?

Susan Boyle

Lil Wayne

Jason Mraz

K'Naan

But in all seriousness

Bob Dylan - 300k

Arctic Monkeys - 100k

Muse - 150 k

Arcade Fire - 150 k

Nas - 100k

Childish Gambino - 100k

Tyler The Creator - 50k

Then I'd use the remaining 50k to book John Newman and break his legs.

[LaurieReid]

So they've nicked Nutini for 20k and given him a headline slot closing the festival and think it's ok to pay 200k for Ellie Goulding and have her supporting Tinie on thursday.

Hope some changes are going to be made shortly.

I think thats an American site though, I saw Arctics are 150k on there, and they're reasonably small in America.

I imagine a lot of those british acts would be a lot more to book over here.

Ye I guess but wouldn't make a lot of difference between Goulding and Nutini would it?

I bet they're fucking still laughing if they've got away with paying someone <50k to close the festival

Nice one Mokes, something to think about that housetrip. Although there is going to be 5 or 6 of us so might be slightly more difficult. If we can get something around £15 a night near city centre I'll be happy enough. Yeah it only just crossed my mind about the world cup the other day funnily enough which means I gotta start planning. (However I don't see spain getting past the quarters, Argies at 5/1 and France at Uraguay at 22/1 are my picks if anyones interested)

With regards to my no more headliners comment, yes I'm hoping for more. However I think if we get another one it will be for the sunday, Nutini not nearly strong enough to close the festival. Headlining the thursday isn't a massive deal in my eyes, does that really count as headlinging a festival? Only really appears to be a half day of music compared to the others. It's a bit like headlining a silent disco at Creamfields on the Friday for me.

We are in a group of 5 or maybe 6, we have a cheap hostel for the night, its our own room and its costing us £12-£15 each, booked it through booking.com

hired a car and driving up on Monday, and returning back the following Monday for 3 more nights.

[Muzzy Izzet]

Anyone staying at Apartmentos Prinicassim by the way?

[RJA_96]

Bands -

Royal Blood

Foals

The Specials

The Horrors

Friendly Fires

DJs -

DJ EZ

Skream

David Rodigan

Hannah Wants

Annie Mac/Zane Lowe

Think that would all offer a nice mixture, bit more rock and indie sorta stuff, a legend act in the Specials and a variety of DJs offering different stuff EZ Garage, Skream techier house stuff, Rodigan Reggae/Dub, Hannah Wants more deep house and Annie Mac/Zane Lowe offering big festival sets.

Yeah, the specials and the horrors would be great actually

Arctic Monkeys are getting 800-900k approx for their Werchter and Pinkpop gigs, KoL was about a million during their Come Around Sundown tour. Even for American standards, those numbers are bollocks. The average major festival headliner is getting anything between 800k and 1.2 million.

I agree the numbers are dodgy

But Nutini ain;t getting anywhere near those figures.

Even on the little advertisements on here for Beni Tinie Tempah is either at the bottom of em or not even on there, he won't headline.

[Holmes95]

Avicii is in Ibiza on the 20th of July. Think he could play or possibly headline? Would be such a sick act to see

Maybe the Sunday? A lot of people thought Calvin Harris would play that slot.

Saw him at Creamfields and in Ibiza, good but not great!

[Tobias Fünke]

[Tobias Fünke]

tinie tempah is not headlining, an ad has just appeared at the top of the screen which only has kasabian and libertines in bold text, another smaller one appeared at the bottom of the screen that didn't even mention tinie tempah. That enough proof Laurie?

[Com Truise]

Not as proud of me as this forum would be If I was to stamp on your face.

You need to take a chill pill brah

[nigelreocoker]

fuck avici

[SteveGuppy]

Get the Rutles on the bill.

[shaun64]

Get the Rutles on the bill.
